General Stock Discussion / Re: Selling off of one's own site -- thoughts?
« on: April 07, 2009, 12:05 »
Great Topic KonaHawaii,
Has anyone checked out Imagespan, http://www.imagespan.com, and their business model using LicenseStream Creator, http://www.licensestream2.com, for selling your own stock directly. I think it will rely on Google search for image buyers as well as your own marketing efforts. Ive been reading about it for the last week and am thinking of opening up a storefront with a few images to test the viability of this approach.
Offer licensing-with-a-click from inside your custom LicenseStream gallery or on your own site.
It offers various pricing models and Im just trying to figure out what would work best for me. Im thinking of offering both RM as well as RF images. They also have something called Rights Simple which is a unique licensing model created by LicenseStream. It combines the protection and detail of a Rights Managed license with the simplicity of a Royalty Free license. It can be selected in a single click and all the terms of the license are included in the simple statement. I dont know yet if there is any microstock range pricing. I havent seen any vector sales info yet either.
I would appreciate any experience anyone might have. As I move forward with this I will share what I find.
